I wanted to like the book...
And tried to make it through the whole thing. I love scary stories but sadly these ones did not come through for me. I have tried other of these compilations and have been disappointed. I wish they would hire me to pick the stories, everyone would pee their pants with the stuff I prefer.

Blue chip horror
Datlow does it again. Best editor of modern horror working today. If you see her name on it, it's awesome. I own every audiobook shes edited on iOS and just switched to Android. Psyched to see this here 👍

Utterly forgettable
I just finished this and I can honestly almost none of the stories are memorable. Most have no suspense or tension. Narrators are only ok, but it is clear after the first few stories that they really have no range for the characters. At times they come across as robotic.

Great Collection
Hours of great horror. Some exceptionally vivid romps and well worth a credit. The narration fits the stories and I found myself haunted for days after a couple of the more disturbing ones.

Great Road Trip Material
I found this to be the best volume I’ve listened too so far. Heartbreaking, dreadful, disturbing, but good stories, and a wide variety of themes.

Not Horror
I wouldn't call any of these stories horror. People doing strange things or in unusual situations yes.

Pretty good
Most of the stories were good. Some stories didn't really end or make much sense. I thought the narrators were great.

worst entry in this series
Almost every story in this edition is boring. I normally really enjoy every installment of this collection, but I feel like Datlow must have handed off #11 to the new intern.

Couldn't Finish
I'm not sure if this anthology gets better because I returned it after the second story.
The first story is so reminiscent of "creepy pasta" that I was shocked it was published. It made no sense and held no horror. It was as if a 10 year old made up a scary story and then their fifteen year old brother filled in some gift details. Hands down one of the worst stories I've ever encountered.
Then, maybe it was a technical glitch, but the insane second story just stopped in the middle of a scene. If that's where the story stopped then it's insulting in its attempt at horror because there, again, was none, just a bad vacation.
Either way I couldn't waste more of my time with it, oof. So bad.
